Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

But doing that won't get Herika off him at all!

In Chapter 56, will we still need to replenish mana in the end?

How long did Helica lie on top of Yuuki Yuuki?

In reality, it won't take too long. Although Helica is a crybaby, her tears aren't endless. Crying too much will eventually make her feel tired.

That being said, Yuuki Yuuki felt that more than a moment had passed; it was as if centuries had flowed by around her. Only she remained like an unmoving fossil, her eyes lifeless as she leaned against the sofa.

Speaking of remaining motionless, Yuuki Yuuki truly did not move an inch while waiting for Helica to finish crying, afraid that any unintentional little movements of hers might make Helica feel uncomfortable. Then, in order to stay comfortable, she casually rubbed against him a couple of times, and happened to see something she shouldn't have seen.

What is this? Black magic runes! Transform and use your hammer on Yuuki Yuuki!

No, absolutely no such scenario should occur.

The price of doing this is that all the muscles in my body are tense and cannot relax. They bear the weight of Helica's body, and now every part of my body is sore.

The more nervous you are about being discovered by the dark tattoo, the tighter your muscles will become, and the more prone you will be to soreness and fatigue, which will only intensify your tension, creating a vicious cycle.

It was different from the pain of being electrocuted by Helika. If Yuuki Yuki were to describe it, being electrocuted felt like "buzzing, beeping beeping," and the muscle soreness felt like "hissing hissing."

Whatever exactly it feels like, it's definitely not a pleasant experience.

If you don't distract yourself like this, you definitely won't be able to keep going despite the constant muscle soreness.

Herika cried terribly, but Yuuki Yukino felt that human joys and sorrows were not shared. She longed for a senior who might not be so perfect, and suffered setbacks because of her own careless actions. These were things that Yuuki Yukino could not empathize with.

So, for Yuuki Yukino, the process of coaxing Helica while enduring it became an unbearable ordeal.

Fortunately, Helica's shoulders were trembling less and less, and her sobs were also getting quieter.

Herika got up and sniffled a few times. Just as Yuuki suspected that she was going to use her clothes as tissues to blow her nose, Herika obediently reached out and picked up the pack of tissues that Yuuki had been trying to reach for a long time on the coffee table. She wiped away the few remaining tears on her face and then threw the tissues into the trash can.

"I've shown you my embarrassing side." Helica wiped her tears around her eyes a few more times, then suddenly realized she was holding a tissue box. She pulled out a tissue and wiped her eyes haphazardly, her voice a little hoarse.

Is it finally over?

Yuuki Yuuki felt as if a weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

"Herika can show me a different side of herself because of her trust in me, right?" Yuuki Gen quietly straightened the hem of her wet and crumpled clothes, stretched her arms and yawned, comforting Herika with utter innocence as if nothing had just happened.

Although my way of comforting people hasn't improved much.

"Who, who trusted you?" After crying, Helica was much more normal now. Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't shout, but it didn't affect her arrogant remarks at all.

The soft voice and gentle tone of the arrogant statement, devoid of any aggression, is just a coquettish act of shyness and coquetry, isn't it?

Herika's adorable, coquettish manner made Yuuki Yuuki chuckle: "Alright, it's my trust in Herika that's the problem. I've always believed that Herika could protect me, and Herika has always protected me very well. Otherwise, how could I be sitting here talking to Herika?"

"But……"

Herika wanted to argue, but Yuuki Yui wouldn't give her the chance. If she made her cry again and then climbed on top of her, Yuuki Yui didn't know if she could hold out for another time.

“The important thing is not the process, but that I am sitting here right now.” Yuuki Yuuki grabbed Herika’s cold hand and squeezed it tightly.

Herlica tried to pull her hand away as soon as it was grabbed, but stopped and grabbed Yuuki Yuki's hand in return.

“I haven’t done enough.” Helica’s voice rolled around in her throat, so muffled that it was impossible to hear her without paying attention. “A magical girl should be light and airy, incredibly dreamy, sparkling, right? A hero who brings dreams to this city, right?”

"But I'm still far from it. My wand and my weapons are nothing like those of a magical girl. What magical girl would use a hammer like that? My personality isn't that gentle either; I often lose my temper. So, magical girls and heroes are too far away for me."

“No one can do it perfectly from the start.” Yuuki Yuuki clenched her hands together tighter. “When I was in danger, when I was lost, it was always Helica who appeared in front of me and protected me the first time. No matter how Helica sees herself, in my eyes, Helica is already my hero.”

“But I can’t be like everyone else…” Herica lowered her head deeply, deliberately avoiding Yuuki Yuuki’s gaze, not wanting anyone to see her expression.

"So what if I can't be like everyone else! Why should Helica be like everyone else?"

Taking advantage of this momentum, Yuuki Yukino pressed her advantage and continued her attack.

"You are you. There's no need to imitate others. It might be easier to follow in someone else's footsteps, but that only means you'll be walking the same path as others, and you'll never reach the future you want. Does Helica want to live such a life without any individuality?"

"No, I don't want to..." Herika was shocked by Yuuki Yuuki's sudden strong aura and answered weakly.

"Does Helica think it's okay to be like Mizuno-kun?" Yuuki Yuki continued to ask.

"Ugh." Helica showed a hint of disgust: "Although she's reliable most of the time, she's a disgrace to magical girls because she throws herself into battle willingly."

"Achoo." Mizuno Yu sneezed as she hung upside down from the ceiling like a spider.

"But Helica also said that Mizuno is very reliable, and isn't it enviable to be able to live as freely as she does?"

“Uh…” Helica had clearly taken Yuuki Yui’s words to heart. When she shifted from self-doubt and self-denial to thinking about Mizuno Yui and other magical girls, her bad mood was already behind her: “Actually, you don’t have to be so willful.”

"In short! I think Helica is most radiant when she is being herself, and that's why I like Helica."

"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! I like it?!"

Herlika's eyes turned into whirlpools, and she instantly went into a state of mental paralysis.

Oh no, I accidentally blurted out my true feelings.

Yuuki Yuuki's affection for Helica is the kind of affection one has for a single person, the kind of affection one has for a fictional character. That kind of feeling is completely different from the kind of affection we talk about in the current situation.

"No, no..." Yuuki grabbed Helica's shoulders and shook her. "It's not the kind of liking you think! It's not!"

"Who, who needs your approval!"

"It's not that kind of liking!"

Don't you like it?

"I don't dislike it at all!"

"I still like it! You! What are you saying! What are you saying?!"

"I love being with the real Helica! She makes me feel so comfortable!"

"What exactly happened?!"

After this pointless conversation went on for a long time, Helica finally calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and let out a long sigh.

"By the way, do you remember what I said before?"

"What did you say?" Yuuki Yuen was confused.

"It's about replenishing mana, replenishing mana!"

Yuuki En always felt that when he was alone with a girl, they were either doing something indescribable to each other or crying.

Although Yuuki Yukino herself cried.

Yuuki Yukina's feeling was correct; Helica had already stated her purpose for coming here as soon as she entered.

Yuuki Yui thought Helica came to talk to her because she was in a bad mood, and that replenishing mana was just an excuse for her to come to her. It seems that she has put the cart before the horse.

Making Helica cry was unexpected; if Yuuki Yukino hadn't said those few words, there probably wouldn't have been so many complications.

No, the situation seems quite critical now as well.

While claiming that her clothes had accidentally gotten wet, Helica calmly reached out to pull off her clothes.

The problem of the Black Magic Pattern potentially being discovered hasn't been resolved at all!

Chapter 57 The incident of being caught being intimate by her sister

Yuuki Yui pressed down hard on the nightgown she was wearing, which was soaked with Helica's tears, and frantically used her only remaining hand to resist Helica's outstretched hands that were trying to lift her clothes.

Who could have imagined things would suddenly turn out this way? If I had known, I would have done more while she was comforting Herika to stop crying.

It doesn't seem too late to do something now, but wait, I'm already too busy just trying to stop Helica from lifting my clothes, how can I possibly do anything else?

Helica is different from Baki; she shouldn't be the proactive type. How come she's showing such strong aggression now?

Wait, Helica only said she needed to replenish her mana, right? That means it's okay even if she doesn't do anything indescribable that makes her legs so weak she can't get out of bed the next day, right?

No, Helica should be the one sleeping downstairs!

It's all Baqi's fault. She made me want to lie down obediently whenever I mention replenishing mana. No, it's all her fault that I've now equated replenishing mana with some kind of indescribable, excessive behavior.

"Herika, Herika!" Yuuki called her name several times, trying to see if she could negotiate with Herika in this state.

"Hmm." Helica answered calmly, without any hint of perfunctoriness, but her hands were still moving as she tried to lift her clothes, which was less than calm.

Helica couldn't possibly go all out like she was in a fight during the argument. Although she was extremely excited, she knew that going too far with this kind of playful fighting was definitely not a good thing.

Fortunately, Helica's strength is not much different from that of girls her age when she is not transformed. With her petite figure, she can't exert much strength. If it were someone with greater strength, Yuuki Yuuki would probably not be able to hold down her clothes and would be completely exposed by now.

“Replenishing mana…maybe we don’t need to go to such extremes.” Yuuki Yui tried to coax Helica into her own domain.

“That makes sense.” Helica agreed verbally, but continued to tear off Yuuki Yuki’s clothes without being moved.

Yuuki Yuki was on the verge of tears. Before Helica realized that she had deliberately kept her from seeing her stomach, she could still use shyness as an excuse for all her actions.

If Yuuki Yuuki didn't have the black demon mark on her stomach, she wouldn't need to worry about so many messy things, nor would she need to worry about having her clothes ripped off. But it was this black demon mark that changed the nature of the whole situation, making Yuuki Yuuki have to be careful with every move she makes.

What if Yuuki Yuuki's refusal is too much and triggers Helica's rebellious mentality, making Helica determined to strip her naked?

What if Yuuki Yuki says something too deliberate, making Helica suspect that she is deliberately hiding something?

If something really happens, Yuuki Yuen will be unable to defend herself, but being so cautious makes it impossible for her to argue logically. Yuuki Yuen is now in a dilemma, speaking dryly and without any persuasiveness.

"Since you think what I said makes sense, then... then let's not do this!"

"I finally learned that... mana replenishment method! I checked it online! It's no problem!" Helica paused midway through her sentence, her movements stopping for a moment, before changing her words.

Did you specifically learn how to do this kind of thing with yourself?

Yuuki Yukino's mind was in a mess, and her words started to become incoherent: "You have to practice what you've learned online!"

"Isn't this the practice I asked you to do!" Herlica's face, which had been burning from crying, was flushed again, her tone was much weaker, and her movements of tearing at Yuuki Yuki's clothes also became much weaker.

Because you just cried, your heart is completely unguarded, and you dare to say anything, right?

The mana replenishment and the trial after defeating the corrupted magical girl are quite different. One is a fusion of emotions, while the other is a violent act in a different sense, turning someone into a ball of fluff. This is the difference between pure love and chaos!

It's hard for Yuuki Yuuki to imagine that Helica, in her normal state, would boldly admit that she had secretly learned those methods of intimacy between girls.

The fact that Helica blushed proves that the other person is still shy about it.

Yuuki felt that she could boldly gamble her understanding of Helica and her tsundere trust in her to overcome the current difficulties.

"What's wrong! Why aren't you saying anything!" Yuuki Yui didn't respond. Helica, who had said this, became a little anxious and started to forcefully tear at him, just like when she was being tsundere. She used force to cover up her inner guilt, but this time she used more direct actions instead of words.

Now is a golden opportunity; let's launch our attack while she's feeling guilty.

"So, how does Helica plan to put this into practice? Would you like to teach me?"

Yuuki softened her voice, as if whispering to Helica before bed, and asked softly in Helica's ear, deliberately letting her warm lips touch Helica's already red earlobe as she spoke.
